I do SEO for a living and every new project reminds me how annoying backlink building is. It’s boring, repetitive, and takes forever.

To make it easier, I put together a list of solid sites where you can create profiles (some give backlinks, others are just good for locking down your brand name and protect it). I also made a little system to collect all the info up front, so setting them up is faster. No AI tools, just manual work because it would be very difficult to automate the profile creation.

Yes, there are tons of directory lists and backlink services out there, but most only cover startup/launch directories. My view: a good SEO base needs both directory links and profile backlinks. That’s why I offer profile setups on 50 quality sites for a flat price. Doing it yourself usually takes 1–3 days.

And let’s be real—unless your site goes viral (which 99% don’t), you’ll still need ongoing link building to actually rank.

P.S. 5-10 years ago I was believing that Google will put more weight on brand mentions in text, images and videos for search engine rankings. It never happened until today—at least not with a measurable impact. Google rankings still rely heavily on backlinks. Now, with LLMs this will change. Brand mentions in text will influence rankings in AI search and I strongly believe that AI will also analyze brand mentions like logos in images and videos. Today, it might still be a bit too resource-intensive but it will come. Therefore, even brand profiles without backlink on high-authority website will support your rankings in the long run.
